TOM THUMB NASTURTIUMS 



These Grand Bedding Nasturtiums have been developed 

 through years of careful hybridization, culture and selection under 

 conditions thoroughly congenial to the highest development of this 

 popular garden annual. Not only have the flowers increased wonder- 

 fully in size, often measuring three inches across, but a great variety 

 of new and charming combinations of colors has been produced, while 

 the brilliancy and velvety richness of the self-colored sorts have 

 been greatly enhanced. For summer flower-beds nothing can sur- 

 pass them; the plants form perfect mounds about one foot high by 

 one foot across. Seed sown in the open ground in the spring will 

 produce plants that commence blooming during early summer and 

 continue until severe frosts. (See cut.)

GIANT= FLOWERING 



CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS 



A new section obtained by a French specialist by hybridizing, and distin- 

 guished by flowers of a large size and a richness and variety of coloring not to be 

 found in Nasturtiums heretofore grown. There have already been produced 

 twenty-two different colors or combinations of colors in these new hybrids, in- 

 cluding various shades of rose, salmon, bright red, pale yellow, etc., either self- 

 colored or spotted, mottled, striped, and margined. 



For covering trellises, fences, arbors, piazzas, trailing from vases, over rock- 

 work, etc.. nothing can equal the gorgeous effect produced by their marvelous 

 quantities of bloom, borne in uninterrupted splendor from early summer until 

 cut down by frost. Their ease of culture and rapidity of luxuriant growth, 12 

 to 15 feet high, render them worthy of great popularity. (See cut.)
